is there an email Fediverse thingy? - eviltoast

I’ve been looking into the Fediverse and it seems like something I want to get more accustomed to. But iw as wondering if there was an email one based on it? I’ve got like Gmail and outlooks. But I also have a rarely used protonmail. So, I was wondering, is Proton good enough. Or is there a Fediverse alternative?

I understand all of this now. I just made a dumb mistake when looking at the Fediverse umbrella. Leaving it in hopes someone else may need it.

    Email is based on Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), defined by the IETF under an RFC or many.

    The Fediverse is based on ActivityPub, out of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the same folks who brought us HTML and HTML/2

    They are wholly different.
